I'd imagine that he would be very, very difficult to get to. He is pro-Russia, pro-Russian invasion, and in Russia. Who could have possibly killed
him. The only parties that I'd imagine would want him dead are the USA and Ukraine [or, potentially, any pro-EU party], and I find it hard to believe
that either would have any sort of access to him.

Since Ukraine has not responded militarily, Russia is taking a beating on the PR front. Every claim Russia has made has resulted in Russia being
asked to produce evidence to support the claims, which they cannot do.

Then they stated Crimea requested intervention. When it was discovered Crimea cant do that under Ukrainian law, they instead claim the former
president sent a letter requesting it. When asked about it, it determined it was not even signed by the former President.

With Putin refusing to behave in a logical manner, the only way out of this mess would be to remove the former President, which could then be argued
by Russia that their intervention is invalid without the former President. With the death of the former president, so goes the death of
intervention.

That would allow all the blame to be placed on the former President, allowing Russia, and specifically Putin, some wiggle room to tuck tail and back
out slowly.

There isn't much about this in search returns other than it being a rumor for the past few hours, but if this pans out to be true, the creepy factor
is going to hit the stratosphere. This would be simply way too convenient of a coincidence to not wonder about.

lol...the only person on this planet with a longer trail of such "coincidences" behind him than Bill Clinton is Vlad Putin

KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich went on sick leave on Thursday after a bruising session of parliament, leaving a political
vacuum in a country threatened with bankruptcy and destabilized by anti-government protests.

The 63-year-old president appears increasingly isolated in a crisis born of a tug-of-war between the West and Ukraine's former Soviet overlord Russia.
A former president said this week the violence between demonstrators and police had brought the country to the brink of civil war.

Shortly after his office announced he had developed a high temperature and acute respiratory ailment, Yanukovich defended his record in handling
the crisis and accused the opposition, which is demanding his resignation, of provoking the unrest.

"Today is the first day of the illness. He has a high temperature. We are not doctors, but it is clear that a high temperature does not go down in
a single day," a presidential spokesman said by telephone. "The doctors will do all they can so that he can recover quickly."

Coincidence, unless Putin wants to instigate the russian population in Ukraine to revolt...and what better way to do that than to blame this guy's
death on Ukranian/American secret services?

And Putin certainly doesn't want the "ethnic Russians" in Ukraine to revolt, now does he?

Well, if Mr. Yanukovich did, in fact, die yesterday, people around him have probably noticed by now. Given the lack of any other public announcement
about this (unless I missed it), either this report is false, or someone is playing a game of "Weekend at Bernie's" with Mr. Yanukovich's
corpse.

Um? Colonel Putin?

As far as I know, Yanukovitch wasn't ever in favor of the invasion and annexation of Crimea, he actually believed he was President of Ukraine.

The new government in Kiev has started to back off the accusations that they previously made about the snipers that they thought were ordered by
Yanukovich. It now appears that there were snipers shooting at both sides, and they may have been foreign. Ahem. Yanukovitch might have been a
greedy petty thug, but not a killer, and he got a bad rap.

So Yanukovich finds out he was played by BFF Vladimir. Opposition realizes that it was a mistake. Yanukovich wants to come back and be President of
Ukraine once more---all of Ukraine. He wanted good relations and money from Mother Russia, and got an invasion.

Notice who hasn't been on television since the takeover? Yanukovich is a pretty important figure---you'd think somebody would ask him what he
thought about Crimea.

What if the person that was supposedly being 'helped' by the fraternal army brotherhood actually has a big problem with Tsar Putin?

Who's inconvenient now?

The only parties that I'd imagine would want him dead are the USA and Ukraine [or, potentially, any pro-EU party], and I find it hard to believe that
either would have any sort of access to him.

edit on 3-3-2014 by LeviWardrobe because: (no reason given)

Why would any pro-EU party want or need him dead now? If he's out of Ukraine he has no power.

And why---or even how---in Russia? The FSB surely is tailing him everywhere. Any covert assassination plan---other than FSB---has a 100%
chance of failure.
